Programs to serve the community

Aliive-Roberts County Youth Council

Aliive-Roberts County Youth Council is a group of youth from Tiospa Zina and Sisseton High School that meet on a regular basis. The formation of the group came at the request of Tiospa Zina students approximately 3 years ago. They meet weekly and discuss community issues challenging local youth and devise interventions that they can implement to affect the lives of their peers. The Youth Council is also responsible for planning positive community events.

Young Ambassadors

The Young Ambassadors Program provides a unique approach to youth leadership development using a two-component stepping stone process. The Young Ambassadors Program is to help heal, rebuild, define and create young leaders in their own sense so they can achieve the goals they set for themselves and be successful in the paths they lead in their life as adults. It is also a goal to duplicate this program to fit the unique needs of each reservation and urban community to continue creating Young Ambassadors across Indian Country.
